[War Department June /] Sir. I have received your letter of the 31 Ultimo — I wrote to the Quarter Master General on the 18 May and informed him that until a general [strikethrough: system] is matured and adopted it will be proper that all accounts arising in the Ordnance department for salaries of persons charged with the keeping of Military Stores and for Armourers employed at Pittsburg or any other post, not being Soldiers, should be settled by him as heretofore. You will inform Doctor Scott that he must send his account for medicines with the necessary Vouchers to the Accountant of this department — I am Sir with respect Your obedient Servant James McHenry Major Isaac Craig Pittsburg —
